sturgisjr you can get F-8 just call Bob. When you say use 8 oz.'s of a powder (F-18) are you using a measureing cup. Not 8oz.'s as in weight correct ?

What did you use ?

Carlos , can you add me to the list of people that you are sending samples to. I'm interested in the fleetwash and restaurant chain ~ flat work, dumpster area, loading dock contracts Have fun on vacation. Thanks, Scott email is flimmy1@verizon.net

Luxurious Log Homes will be on the Travel Channel at 10 pm tonight. It says they will detailing log cabins that are actually multimillion dollar homes with indoor pools and private railways. I'll have to set a reminder so I don't miss it.

I just looked at the site and see that Kencove is only 30 min.s from me :D I think I'll have to make a trip up to see them.

This design was custom , one of the guys in the club came up with it. If you can email him a pic he can make it. They also do screen printing. Perfect Fit inc. Mike & Sue Creasy 724-887-7708 or 1-800-804-8337

Does anybody have pic's of there X-Jet or Shur-Flo. I have seen the X-Jet but not the Shur-Flo. How do both of them work. I have an idea of how the X-Jet works and know that Beth&Rod sell them. I guess I'm looking for more info on the Shur-Flo. Thanks

When I do get thing up and running I'll be towing a trailer with my 03 Dodge 3500 CTD. The wife drives an Expedition or a BMW Z3.

Sound like me. Have you purchased any equipment yet ? I'm still researching what would be the best machine to get at the best price. I don't want to waist the $$ on the wrong unit.

2 tone would help hide the old vertical pices and stain the new floor. It may look good. I've looked at Beth & Rod's pic's and there are some nice looking 2 tone decks.

I had some hats made for a 4x4 club I'm in and to have the program writen for the embroidery machine was $50. To have the logo stitched was only about $7 per hat and the cost of the hat , another $7. The company that did the work can keep the program or give it to me to keep. I let them keep it and I can go back anytime and have them make more. They can also make the logo any size or color at no extra cost. They do screen work too but I don't know what they charge yet.

I have a 24', 28 ' fiberglass extension ladders and a 8' fiberglass step ladder. It's all about balance. I find it easier to carry a ladder by myself that with help. Now a 32' fiberglass :eek: I'll take the help on that one.

Is this a good unit ? Is it a good deal ? I can give them a buisness address to ship to. Thanks http://store.spraymallstore.com/noname3.html

would one of these be a better unit with the High pressure soap and metering valve with SS float tank & lid for $130 xtra ? If anyone has a link to what they have or think may be a better unit/ cost also. I'm not looking for the cheapest , but I'm not looking to buy the most expensive. I just want the best bang for my buck. I don't want to wish I bought a different unit 6mo. to a year down the road. http://www.pwmall.com/detail.aspx?ID=2086 http://www.pwmall.com/detail.aspx?ID=2084

Rod , you are correct in the way to determine angle of the ladder, it's called the firemans method. One other thing you may want to carry on your truck is 2 pieces of 2x12. It is used under the feet of the ladder when the ground could become or is soft. I had one of the feet start to sink into the ground causing the ladder to lean to one side. I was about 12' off the ground and made it down before ladder fell over. You also don't want to lean out to one side past the middle of your chest. As for the person on the ground. If you need someone to hold the ladder it's not safe to climb. The person on the ground has more of a chance of getting hurt by falling objects than the person on the ladder. I have worked for a utility company for 17 yrs climbing ladders the entire time. The first 8 years I worked alone carrying the ladder everyday and everywere. Placing it on cable in the middle of a span , on poles , and on houses. Now I'm not saying I didn't do some things that were completly safe. But I do try because I am the person that is going to get hurt and have to suffer it I don't do it safe.

I'd just like to say hi to everyone and I think this site is great. I am thinking of starting a pw buisness so I have been reading alot here and on other boards. I have one question , for now ,many more to come. :D I found a good deal on a 6x12 inclosed trailer , 2990 gvw. I can increase it to 3500# by swaping in a heavier axle. It was an option so the frame will be fine. Do you think this is a heavy enough gvw ? I am looking at enclosed trailers because I think they have alot more advantages than an open trailer. Like , rolling sign , security , keeps equipment out of the elements , higher resale to upgrade to a larger trailer when the buisness grows. The ability to just park and lock it at night when you get home at the end o fthe day is the biggest advantage to me. Are there any disadvantages ?

In PA anything over 3000 lbs. is requiered to have brakes on both axles. If the trailer were under 3k I feel confident that my truck could stop just fine. It's an 03 3500 Dodge CTD :D I am thinking of passing up this trailer and maybe building my own. The biggest cost will be the steel. I can get all the parts including the axles at TSC. I saw a PW rig today that was a tandem axle trailer but was real short. I did like the way he had the pw in a box in the front and the tank over the axle. Other than the box the rest was open.

I had planned on getting a hot water machine. I also want to start out with residental work and maybe a few local tri-axle dump trucks. There are a few small big truck repair shops around that I may be able to try that. I would like to get into commercial flat work and store fronts. Gymrat , I didn't think about the kids or adults getting into the chemicals or being able to change clothes. The main reason was the ease of storage , keeping most everythng inside the trailer. What would be the min. size tank you coud get away with it I had a 4gpm hot water machine. I would try to use the customers water when ever possible but I know that may not always be an option.

I don't have any equipment yet , I sill researching what to get. I don't want to waiste money on something I will be unhappy with. I have an open trailer, 7k daul axle , now but realy didn't want to dedicate it to PWing only. I do haul a 4x4 buggy on it about 1 evey 6 weeks when I go 4wheeling. How hard would it be to make everything removable ? Like I said I would only have to do it every 6 weeks or so. Just try to plan on having the water tank near empty. Just a thought. I will be asking ALOT of questions in the next few weeks. So thanks fo rthe advise.
